Ok guys over the weekend i searched 25.00 of customer wrapped and got this heres the pics. Could some of the cent collectors give their opinions on grade. Not sure if its worth me sending off to get graded. All opinions welcomed http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/TRAUMAFINDR/042009067.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/TRAUMAFINDR/042009065.jpg Sorry still amateur at pics...
Looks like you found a winner!!!! Congrats. Nice Lincoln too. No corrosion yet. Still Red. Way to go Jim!
Oh, I'd slab it for sure. Although it will probably get around au58, you'll probably pay about $16-$20 to get it slabbed for a coin that will be worth much more than that...in both monetary and personal value. -LTB
I'd say have it graded for authenticity purposes. Very Nice Find. I am still looking to find a wam. Congrats! Regards, Stan
NICE FIND! I searched well over 75k cents before I found one. That one is worth getting slabbed. If the luster is strong, it will definately come back MS. My grade guess is at least 64 based on the pictures. The major TGP's can't grade a Memorial cent correctly, they over-grade consistently. I found a 99 WAM last year and I graded it as MS-63/64 RD, it came back from NGC as MS-65 RD. My coin had a lot of luster, that's mainly what they grade from.
"The major TGP's can't grade a Memorial cent correctly, they over-grade consistently." ....that's hard to believe.
Thanks all i enjoy all my treasure hunts even when they dont produce.. I have 1 final question on this can anyone submit to pcgs or ngc or do you have to become members???
You have to be a member. The easiest and probably the least expensive thing to do is to take it to a trusted coin dealer and have them submit it for you. My dealer only charges me $25 for NGC.
I Have found a dealer in my area that will send it out and he is a reputable dealer before i go see him i want opinions on which would be better to send to he is ngc and pcgs both.(which grades cents more accurate) Thanks for opinions
